Solastagic stories

Justina Špeirokaitė and Miloš Vučićević

The “Solastalgic Stories Workshop” explores the emotional impacts of climate change through audio-visual assemblage, allowing participants to articulate past and future memories tied to their environments. This participatory approach highlights how environmental degradation influences personal identity and collective memory, framing solastalgia as a critical lens for understanding contemporary socio-ecological crises.

Participants need to take their own Mobile devices and Headphones so they can listen to the audio during the workshop.
